Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo's discovery of the Master captive in Episode 11 directly informs Axo's later awareness of 'the other Time Lord' (the Doctor) in Episode 12, triggering its directive to capture him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's captivity is uncovered by Jo in Episode 11, which places him physically within Axo's sphere. This provides the narrative justification for Axo's subsequent action in Episode 12 where it identifies the Doctor as a direct threat/saboteur and orders Replica Filer to capture him. The spatial and temporal proximity of these events creates a causal chain.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
